We just love the colours that winter has to offer, these gorgeous flowers make the cloudy wintery days seem so bright! We are getting all botanical but some of these winter gems are Native Lilac, Geranium, Correa, Marigold and Soursob. 🌸🌺🌼🌿.

Turn on the light to your winter ❄️ with real life art in the Glow Winter Arts Festival starting next week, we can’t wait to see what’s on this year! (go to @whats_on_stonnington for all the details) #glowfest2018

A lady in my village said to me earlier ‘you’ll miss the sun when it’s winter again!’ I’m not sure I believe her. I’m definitely a cool weather person and I can’t wait to go conker hunting, pumpkin picking and blackberry picking in the Autumn! Hurrah!

This one is another throw back from March this year when we had an unusual flurry of snow. My son thought it was great but he would get cold after a little while so we brought the snow inside and put it in our trusty planter along with some play kitchen equipment. It was fascinating watching him play with snow in a different way, building up his role play skills and smiling away while he served me snow tea. We left this play out and watched it gradually melt, which gave us the opportunity to discuss the different states of good old H2O! 🌨❄️🌨❄️🌨❄️🌨❄️🌨❄️

Forgive me sun slavers but I hope we receive a sunshine reprieve soon!

Taking creative ideas from @lozbot22 to entertain this busy mind when it's cold & wet! This activity lasted all of 30.5 seconds before he stood on it and threw the rocks on the lawn. Boys seriously do not sit still! 😴

Oh kiddo! So lovely to have our friends @kiddomag drop by to capture the magic of Cubby Town this week. Head over to their bio to check out the full gallery of cubby amazingness, captured by @meaghan_coles_photography 🌿✨🙌🙏

We had a fab short break away in Taupo. The snow was a hit! ⛄ (The Baby Banz sunglasses were ideal for the snow - we sell them on our website)! 😉
Happy Valley has changed since we were there a couple of years ago though - the new facilities are great, but jeepers, was pretty pricey for sledding!

Being outdoors comes with many benefits and opportunities for exploration and learning. But what about heading outside during these colder months?
While it might feel like those rainy days restrict us from enjoying outdoor play, the truth is there are so many great benefits from popping on your boots, dressing warm and getting out into nature, even in winter.
